NTP Mode 6 UNSETTRAP DRDoS Scanner
Description
This module identifies NTP servers which permit mode 6 UNSETTRAP requests that can be used to conduct DRDoS attacks. In some configurations, NTP servers will respond to UNSETTRAP requests with multiple packets, allowing remote attackers to cause a distributed, reflected denial of service (aka, "DRDoS" or traffic amplification) via spoofed requests.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
